TEIN Dress Master S-Tech drop height

OK, lets talk about the *actual* drop of these springs! Manufacturer claims -.87" front and -.75" rear.

Lets see what your real world drop is and post pics if you got em!

Wow nobody? So is it under an inch or over an inch???

Don't have pics. But had them on my 350 and you will not get an inch out of these. If your looking for that much get the Eibachs. I like the Eibachs over the Tein anyways.

i think it matters what shocks you use. on my stune shocks i now have just barely one finger gap from the top of the tires to the fender lip. and if my math is correct thats well over an inch drop for me. i dont have mesurements taken before so sorry.....

side note i cant honestly say i like these springs. the drop is exactly what i wanted but they do not handle the sh!tty roads i drive on. if the road is smooth then yes great bank for the buck, but if the roads suck you better take it easy. one nasty expansion or dip on a two lane road and you can get squirrely real quick.

fuct- is that because you did not get an alignment done or the damper still too soft allowing the suspension to stroke more than it should (causing too much toe angle change)?
